“In this series of paintings, Marc Travanti seeks to obliterate the space in between, rendering the encounter of two individuals in bluntly physical terms… a tangled ball of arms and legs, twisted torsos and cascading hair. Cast against an indeterminate background, these bodies seem to be falling through the ether with nothing to hold onto but each other.”
Beth Wilson, art historian and writer
